1 Gang 13A Switched Outlet — The British Standard Electrical Wall Outlet
The R30407M is an integrated and reliable 1 gang 13A switched outlet in a single PC panel with a rectangular shape (86mm x 86mm). The outlet also has a neon power indicator that lets users know when the outlet has power, allowing them to check if connected appliances are working and be able to troubleshoot appliances that aren’t working, i.e., without needing a tester.
Neon Indicator — Instant Status at a Glance: The integrated neon light glows when the outlet is live. This simple feature helps occupants double-check that a device is powered and makes fault-finding faster for maintenance teams — no tester required.
True Switch & Outlet Combo Function: The integrated switch controlling the outlet is a true switch since it is the only way to turn off power (not a low voltage signal relay). It is safe to disconnect refrigerators, stove tops, etc., directly at the outlet, which will allow for longer-lasting appliance life as well as reduction of electricity usage or standby power.
Dual-Material Internals — Silver Switch Contacts & Phosphor Copper Socket
The R30407M has two different materials inside the switch and socket (not only for aesthetics). The silver contact will provide good electrical performance over time and the phosphor copper socket will provide for a consistent socket surface with good electrical contact over time. The socket side provides a strong connector for the fin retaining pins and continues to maintain a shared connection for thousands of insertion cycles using 0.7mm high-phosphor copper and an integrated structure.
The front and back of the assembly are constructed of high-clarity, high-strength imported PC material, while the iron center plate keeps the assembly rigid so that the flex does not cause the shutter cover of the socket to be misaligned over time.

Where to Specify This 1 Gang 13A Switched Outlet
Practical application notes and installation guidance for project managers, contractors, and wholesale buyers specifying electrical wall outlets.
Application Use Cases
For Residential Builds, this switch and outlet combo is the standard choice for kitchens, living areas, and bedrooms — anywhere appliances benefit from visible power status and local isolation. In Hospitality & Commercial projects, the neon gives housekeeping and maintenance teams a quick visual on room sockets without carrying testers. The Retail & Trade Supply market benefits from a single-SKU solution that covers the most-requested electrical wall outlet configuration: switched, 13A, with neon.
Installation & Wiring Note
The R30407M uses standard 86×86mm back box spacing and connects with clearly marked L, N, and Earth terminals. The neon indicator is wired internally across the switch — no extra wiring step is needed when installing this switched outlet. As with all R30 series products, the iron middle plate keeps the assembly rigid against the wall surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a switched outlet?
A switched outlet is an electrical wall outlet with a built‑in rocker switch that controls power to the socket. The R30407M is a 1 gang 13A switched outlet with an added neon indicator — the switch lets you isolate appliances without unplugging them, and the neon glows to show when the outlet is live.
What is the difference between a switched outlet and a regular outlet?
A regular outlet is always live once wired into the circuit. A switched outlet like the R30407M adds a manual single‑pole switch on the wall plate itself. This gives you local on/off control over whatever is plugged in — a small difference during installation, but a significant daily convenience for end users.
How to tell if an outlet is switched?
The easiest way is to look for a rocker switch on the wall plate next to the socket opening. On the R30407M, this switch is paired with a neon indicator — when the switch is on, the neon lights up. If you are unsure about an existing installation, plug in a lamp and toggle the wall switch to test.
Are switched outlets required by code?
In the UK, BS 1363 and related wiring regulations do not mandate that every socket must be switched, but switched outlets are the overwhelming standard in domestic and commercial practice. They are strongly preferred because they provide a visible point of isolation. The R30407M meets IEC 60884 and fits this standard practice directly.
What is a wall power outlet called?
Terminology varies by region. In the UK, it is commonly called a wall socket or switched socket. In North America, it is called a wall outlet, electrical outlet, or receptacle. This product, the R30407M, is a 1 gang 13A switched outlet — a switch and outlet combo built to British Standard dimensions.
What are the four types of electrical outlets?
While classifications vary, four common categories are: standard outlets, switched outlets (like the R30407M), GFCI/RCD protected outlets for wet areas, and USB‑integrated outlets. The R30407M is the standard switched type specified in UK and Commonwealth projects, prioritizing mechanical isolation and visual power indication.
Can I replace a wall outlet myself?
In the UK, replacing a wall outlet in a kitchen or bathroom is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations and must be carried out or certified by a competent person. Even for straightforward like‑for‑like replacements, we recommend your customers use a qualified electrician to ensure L, N, and Earth connections are secure and the circuit is tested after installation.
What is the 6 rule for outlets?
The “6‑foot rule” is a North American NEC guideline stating that no point along a wall should be more than 6 feet from a receptacle. UK wiring regulations follow different spacing principles based on room function and circuit design. The R30407M, as a standard 86×86mm British format switched outlet, is specified directly into those UK layouts.
